Sonora, CA — The Environmental Impact Report for the planned Blue Mountain Minerals project is going through the county review process.

Tuolumne County had approved a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, which essentially allowed the project to proceed, but a lawsuit was filed by the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center. Rather than fight the litigation, the company chose to conduct a full EIR.
